Laiugsburg.

The time is near at hand when tire uues-
ton of the prohibition of the liquor traffic
in Michigan will, for the present be decid-
ed. Thousands are deciding how they
will vote on the amendment next Monday.
A great responsibility rests upon every
voter, and almost every argument for or
against the measure has been urged.
Every voter should pause at this time
for reflection, and, laying every prejudice
aside, ask themselves few plain, honest
questions, and then answer them honestly
Tor themselves.
Will not saloon keepers and distillers
vote for what they consider their best in
tcrests? Will they vote tor or against the
amendment? 1t is conceded by all that
they will vote against it, notwithstanding
their loud assertions that prohibition will
not prohibit. When man votes against
the amendment don't he join hands with
the rumseller? 1t is pretty safe to conclude
that what the whiskey men most desire, is
Just what sober, honest men do not cant.
How then can home-loving, God fearing
meD vote the same ticket with them, when
by so doing, they are virtually encouraging
them? Come down, off the fence, and
come down on the amendment side There
are just two sides to this question and two
great parties waging this conflict, viz: the
Whisky party and the Temperance party,
You will find the best elements of all par
ties combined in the latter party, while
the former is made up of saloon men,
tipplers, bummers and their sympathisers
And now dear friend, where will you
be on that auspicious day. the 4th of
April? i imagine see the two great ar
mics drawn up in battle array, with ban
ners waving and weapons gleaming-on
the one side God commands, on the other
Satan leads. Will you strike for liberty,
for virtue. and for the preservation of those
you love. or will you desert to the encmy's
lines and join your fortunes with those
who are willing to blight and destroy all
that is noble and good, even the lives aod
happiness Of their fellow men, for gold
sordid wealth. Will you barter the
Anhood of your sons, and the happiness
iyour daughters for money to build
,gdewalks and jails2
Think we'll before you vote; many
man, many newspaper, in opposing the
amendment is making a history which will
follow them, and which ere long they will
be trying to explain away, for sooner OF
later the right shall prevail.
When you go to deposit your vote just
carry this thought and admonition with
you, Thou. God, see'st me, Help me TO
Vote Right" and then if you act according
TO the dictates of your conscience oil will
be well. ZrscA.

ter dinner the subjects OF renovating old
clothes, and how to keep up and improve
our farms were introduced Mrs. Cramer
read an excellent paper and showed the
necessity of keeping our spiritual clothing
unspotted as well as our temporal. Mrs.
Woodln then took up the subject and told
us how to mend and clean everything in
out of old ones, etc. Mrs. G. G. Doanc
then read paper which wound up the
clothes question. Mr.. Cramcr not being
aware that his name was on the program,
gave us an of hand speech and told us
how they used to farm in Genesce and
Lapeer counties, and gave his experience
in clearing and improving land. M.

hands it should be richer than when il
came into his possession. He thinks that
clover and barnyard manure are the best
fertilizers and does not think any benefit
is derived from sowing plaster. Timothy
hay he said was very hard on the land and
that the land did not derive any benefit
from it as fertilizer; and furthermore
said that it was not much good to feed to
anything but mule, and Theron fell cut
with mules when one ran away with his
wife.

SuDer,titiop I'm Prussia.

As proof that the superstitious folk are not
all dead yet, the following queer story comes
% us from Prussia:
As the Baron de Gostowsld lord of the
manor Of SabOnez, not far from Dantzic, lay
dying recently, he spoke thus TO his weeping
family
My children, / am about to leave you.
When 1 am dead, and before burying me, be
careful to sever my head from my body. l
did SO TO my mother We are race of vam-
pires, and unless this terrible precaution is
taken we cannot rest in the grave, but return
and bring misfortune TO our children"
These extraordinary instructions were car
ried out 10 the letter by the eldest son after
his fathers decease But not satisfied with
that, as he felt "a little off" in point of health
few days after the funeral, what does this
too obedient son do but repair TO the Gene
terry and, first getting the gravedigger pretty
thoroughly intoxicated, induces him TO ex-
hume his fathers body After having turned
over the headless trunk 50 that it rested on
It's stomach, and determined to make thorough
work Of it, he took the severed member from
the coffin and threw it into a neighboring
hedge
Even in bigoted Prussia such proceedings
cannot be passed unnoticed. The correctional

guilty Of violation Of interment," and sem
fenced him to-a fortnight's imprisonment

We do not escape that greatest of all him
derances to progress, irregularity in attend
ance. Much of this could be avoided if
parents only thought so. Much of the errand
running which pupils give as an excuse for
staying away, could be done before and after
school hours. Few boys and girls like to go
to school, and If given half a chance will
get out of it. Irregularity might be tolerated
if children had twenty or thirty years in
which to get an education, but the great
mass of our boys and girls must leave school
at the age of sixteen; how important, then,
that the few years in which they can attend
should be we'll improved.
Let us figure little. Our enrolment is
1sS, average attendance 1872. That means
that on every day of the month fifty six
children were absent. For one month that
would be 1120 days, for ten months 1920
days. That would make for one pupil fifty.
six years of school for ten months in the
year; or five years and six months for ten
children. What an immense waste of time !!
We would respectfully urge parents to
straighten this matter out.
We have not been honored with visit yet
from either school board or citizens, conse.
qLently we flatter ourselves that everything
is all right. However, we cordially invite
any one interested In schools and children to
call at any time, as it will be pleasant to both
pupils and teachers to have our friends and
parents drop in and see what we are doing.

Clardy for Governor.

1t is stated with seeming authority
by many of our exchanges that Hon.
NJ. L. Clardy will be candidate for
Governor in 1888. If Mr.. Clardy has
decided to place his name before the
Democracy of the State for nomination
to this exalted office, he will receive al
most the united support of the press of
the Southeast. There is a feeling in
the country districts that ST. Louis ex-
ercises too much control of the machin-
cry of our State government, both in
legislative and official capacity. The
people of the country districts are ready
to join hands In movement to select
a state ticket for 1883 from among clean
and pure men, who are not allied with
the local interests of the great CONNER
cisl city, where political preferment,
place and power are bought, sold aud
bartered for. Two representative st.
Louis men have already laid claim to
the Executive chair, both st. Louis
politicians, and men who have made
office-getting the business of their life.
1t would seem to read the criticisms
these rival st. Louis candidates are
prOmulgating, one against the other,
through penny-a-liners in obscure pa
peers, that forsooth one or the other
must succeed to the office. 1t may not
have occurred to these kid-gloved gen.
tlemen that their metropolitan man.
ners, and their schemes and devices,
do not suit the country press nor the
country voters. The wards of st.
Louis may be made subservient to
them, where corruption and bribery
flourish, but not so outside these pre-
cincts. The time is ripe for statesmen
of broad and comprehensive views to
be brought forward for all places on
state ticket. For the position of COVER
nor of the State of Missouri. in 1888, we
place in nomination Hon. Martin L.
Clardy, of st. Francois county. The
record of his public services and his life
record as pure man are sufficient to
commend him.-Perryvilke Sun.
